street priceMEB is Buchla Music Easel featuring iProgram Card.
The expansion card is inserted into the slot instead of the program card and allows saving up to 24 presets. It allows you to save - it’s not the program card the settings in which are adjusted by resistors.
IProgram card allows you to make a wi-fi connection with iOS devices, which allows you to edit and manage presets in real time. Using the tablet you can switch on the virtual keyboard and the notes pressed on the screen will be reproduced without delay by the synthesizer. For conditions where wi-fi isn’t possible, you can connect the USB cable.
When working without additional devices (only a card and a synthesizer), all manipulations with presets are made with two keys. For convenience, the information is displayed on a two-line monochrome display.

A small Italian company, Soundmachines, has launched a fundraising campaign for Kickstarter for production of (arches), a progressive capacitive touch controller for modular systems. The device promises a lot of opportunities for controlling several modules in parallel, as well as a flexible and ergonomic keyboard.
Recently, Pittsburgh Modular teased its new 4-channel 32-step Eurorack sequencer, which will be exposed at the Berlin Superbooth exhibition. As you can see, it is looks familiar to the Microvolt 3900 with its blue backlight knobs. In fact, the whole design continues the style of the last synthesizer. Developers showed a small demo of their upcoming device, but full information will be available in May.
